5 week post op midface/brow lift, rhinoplasty, fat grafting

i wanted to improve my nasolabial folds and nasal tip so i consulted with multiple plastic surgeons before deciding to go with Dr Rad. He had before/afters with concerns of people that were similar to mine as well as explained exactly why his technique would work to give me the improvements i was looking for. Ended up getting an endoscopic midface and brow lift, canthoplasty, closed rhinoplasty and microfat grafting from inner thighs to face. First week was very swollen and bruised, eating soft foods, pain meds, etc. I went back to work about two weeks after but was still pretty swollen. The bruising had largely resolved by then. Very happy with results!

Great, natural look!

I asked for a very natural looking nose, with a reduction in size, nose bump, and tip refinement. It came out exactly like the photos he gave me during my consultation, if not better! I found him on Reddit and he had great reviews for a very natural look. People said after surgery with him people couldn’t even tell they got work done which is what I wanted. He has a lot of experience and focuses solely on rhinoplasties which is his speciality. The consultation was pretty straightforward. He’s not much of a chatter but that’s kind of what I wanted out of a surgeon. He is so knowledgeable and helped ease my concerns. He did photoshop a photo of me with what my new nose would look like which turned out to be very accurate. He may be a bit dry and blunt, but he will tell you what is possible and what would not look natural. When you first get your cast off it is a bit of a jump scare. Your nose will be super swollen. It gets way better as the weeks go on! I’d say the swelling was pretty minimal by a month post up or so. You won’t be able to fully smile for a few weeks but that subsides too. I’d say like 6 months post up most of my swelling was gone, except some residual due to high temperature weather or intense exercise. The recovery was a lot better than I thought it would be. I only took the doctor prescribed pain meds for a day after then switched to over the counter and felt fine. You’ll have swelling and most likely some bruising but the pain is not bad at all. The worst part is not being able to breathe out your nostrils for a few weeks. Get some cooling throat spray and it’ll help.

Revision Septorhinoplasty for Deviated Septum

I had already had one closed septorhinoplasty to fix a deviated septum when I was 17. Afterward, my septum was still deviated and aesthetically I was unhappy with my bulbous/asymmetric tip, hanging columella, and uneven nostrils. I decided to get a revision and do an open septorhinoplasty at 26. I asked questions such as: - How many revisions do they do? - Do they evaluate your airway/nasal valves? - What do they think actually went wrong the first time? - What cartilage graft materials do they use? My own rib, donor rib, or ear. - Only considered surgeons who used visual software - Bring old operative report and ask what the surgeon thinks went wrong in the previous surgery. - Ask surgeon to do an endoscopy and look inside the nose - Looked for someone who is both ENT and board certified plastic surgeon - Ask what they CANNOT accomplish. No surgery will be perfect. Why I chose my provider: - They satisfied the above requirements. - Gave me a thorough pre and post treatment plan in advance - Many many years of experience with revisions. - Was honest about limitations SUPER happy with my results - nose is perfectly straight, nostrils are even, bulbousness is gone. It was an extremely complex surgery. Recovery: - No bruising for me! - 1-2 weeks of heavy mucus and difficulty breathing through nose. Expected. - Took 4/5 weeks for the tip to drop to normal height. Expected. - Tip changed sizes constantly for 7 months based on alcohol, weather, exercise. This is normal.

I wish I did it sooner— 400cc High Profile Mentor Under the Muscle

Before: 32B (breastfed 2 kids) After: 32D/DD Height: 5ft 2” Weight: 135lb I read tons of reviews & the amount of surgeons in the DMV area were overwhelming. Ultimately I chose to book a consult at Cosmetic Surgery Associates because the before and after photos on their website were most similar to what I was starting with and what I ultimately wanted. The day of my consultation, I was shocked!! I walked in and almost walked back out to make sure I went in the right door because I was greeted and treated with such kindness and professionalism. Not only was his staff extremely knowledgeable, they were so caring about me as a patient, took their time (rare in healthcare) & all of them even checked up on me several times after I got home & again weeks later. At my consult I brought several reference photos but they had special implants you can “try on” for size when you come in. It was super helpful seeing how they would look with clothing on. I was contemplating between 350cc & 400cc but had time between the consult and the date of surgery to decide. I ended up telling my surgeon to take the lead and do what he thinks looks best & he over delivered!! They are perfect for my body/size/shape. He chose Mentor 400cc High Profile Silicone Gel (aka “Gummy Bear”) implants inserted under the muscle. Recovery was difficult the first 3 days but manageable with pain medication that he had no issues prescribing. (I’ve heard horror stories of women being in immense pain and their surgeons being against prescribing pain medication) I will say, if I ever wanted to or had to get another cosmetic procedure done I would 100% go back to Cosmetic Surgery Associates and see Dr Magge & staff.

Chemical Peel$500
3/5
Almost worth the $500...

I went into Tribeca MedSpa looking for help to remove sunspots. The esthetician was extremely knowledgeable, educational, and patient. She gave me a few options and listed the pros/cons [down time, price, etc.]. I ultimately chose the longer down time, more affordable option, which was a VI chemical peel. The other options were lasers, which were short down time but a lot more money and recommended several sessions based on the results. My face definitely peeled for 2-3 days, but I didn't mind. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. The results were amazing in regards to soft skin and texture that lasted very, very long. My sun spots definitely lifted slightly, but I did hope for a bit more for $500+ (I knew they wouldn't go away completely). I would recommend this treatment for anyone looking to improve texture, discoloration, and have long-lasting incredible-feeling skin. Also note that the dark spots get slightly worse before they get better (because they come to the surface).

JuneSkin Model

I had a great experience modeling for June Skin for my Xeomin treatment! The entire process was easy and comfortable, and o felt like everything was explained to me really well before and during the treatment. I especially appreciated that the approach was completely tailored to me and focused on keeping my results looking natural. I’m so happy with how it turned out — refreshed and smoother, but still completely like myself. Everyone at JuneSkin is so kind and welcoming, and I would absolutely come back for future treatments!

Sculptra for a Natural, Fuller and More Lifted Look

Sculptra for a Natural, Fuller and More Lifted Look I wanted a more natural, lifted look without using traditional fillers, so I decided to try Sculptra, a biostimulator. I chose this clinic after it was recommended to me by a friend and after seeing Yedelis Diaz’s work. My recovery was great. I followed all of the aftercare instructions, including the recommended massages, and didn’t have any issues. Nothing really surprised me because Yedelis was very informative and explained exactly what to expect and everything I needed to do afterward. I love how natural my results look. My skin feels fuller, smoother and more hydrated, with less texture and more of a glow. I also love that Sculptra continues to stimulate collagen over time. I now do yearly vials to maintain my results and keep my skin looking youthful and refreshed.
